For the second time, Dwingeloo will once again have a Timmerdorp, where the organization will be even bigger. From Saturday 30 April to Wednesday 4 May, children can get to work with wood, hammers, nails and other materials in Beleefpark Dwingeloo.

The organization will go even bigger this edition to match the number of happy faces of the first edition. For example, in addition to a shop, construction site and town hall, a hardware store will also be added to the site this time. Materials and tools can be bought this time with Timmerdorp money. This money can be earned by building beautiful huts and by completing bonus missions. In addition, all builders can spend the last night of May 3 to 4 in their own built hut.

This could include supplying tools and/or materials, paying for diplomas or Timmerdorp passports, a small gift for afterwards, a financial contribution or in another creative way.

Volunteers are also very welcome for the night of 3 to 4 May,” says Bram.
